just curious folks, but is there anyone out there that went to towerbank school from 1958 to 1969 and was in my class. My last teacher before going to portobello high was Mr gillies. ring any bells let me know please.

Awe, never mind Susie, I was there a little earlier than you!! From 1953 to 1960. Teachers that I had were Miss Bertroom, Miss McRobbie( boy did she live up to her name!!! Miss McCrabbit!!) and Miss Reid who was the exact opposite!!!

Yes I remember Miss Reid. the woman with the hair that never moved pretty sure it was a wig.

I remember Miss Reid too. She always wore that green chiffon scarf thing over her immovable hair . I remember Miss MacRobbie too and Mrs Buchan (she had thick black rimmed glasses). And I still sometimes see Mrs Cass. My last teacher (1974) was Mrs Wright - she was lovely.

Working backwards I reckon that I must have been in Primary 1 in year 1962/63 - so our paths may have crossed! My very first teacher was Mrs Cass, who I remember well and I can also relate to all the earlier descriptions of Miss Reid. I also remember Mr Brown the Jannie who lived in the house that used to be in the playground.

Blows my mind that I currently have kids at Towerbank after all those years!!!!!!!!!!
